I am a professional musician (vocalist, piano/organ, and saxophone) as well as a music educator. I am active in APRS, storm chasing, DXing, contesting and awards nets.

In August 2010 I was nominated to the ARRL A-1 Operators Club,something I'm very proud of! The ranks of the members of the A-1 Operators Club include people that I have known for many years, all of whom are among some of the finest people I have ever known. What an awesome feeling to be included among their ranks!

As of January 2015, I have been appointed as State MARS Director for U.S.A.F. MARS for Missouri. You can find out more about membership in Air Force MARS at either the Missouri USAF MARS website (www.moafmars.org) or at the North Central Region website (www.afmars.org). If you have a heart for public service, supporting the military, and are interested in emergency communications then MARS wants YOU! If you reside in Missouri, contact me direct otherwise make contact with the North Central Region and your request for information will go to your respective state director!

I QSL through eQSL and LOTW exclusively and no longer normally issue "hard"cards. If you need a hard card I am happy to provide oneif you include an SASE with your card. I print hard cards about 4 times a year so please understand that they will be delayed considerably. Please be patient as I do them in batches when I can complete, print, and mail them out in bulk.

I DO NOT QSL THROUGH QRZ.COM, PLEASE DO NOT SEND MESSAGES ASKING FOR QRZ LOG ENTRIES.
